quoting an Israeli news portal – the gmail sign-in is open all around the world, but the US.
in the states the service is only available through cell registration(?) only, and will open up to all user soon.

i do not know what their source is for this.

Well, if they remove the BETA label, in case of other email-disparitions as in last months (60 cases) what else can they claim? A BETA product will always have excuses.

I don’t see the big deal. Nearly anyone who wants an account can get one, one way or another.

And even if it is a worldwide public beta, it’s still BETA! When will they get the courage to remove the beta label from the name?

Google is notorious for rolling features out, so I’m sure this will be no different. In the next day or two I’m sure the whole world will be able to get Gmail without needing a cellphone. I’m just afraid that this will spark spammers to create accounts. Hopefully they have measures implemented to block this from happening.

I live in Romania and from here GMail is free from today (maybe yesterday evening). Something is changing… I hope in few hours/days it will be “public beta” all over the world.
